3 months on trt

[bigpapa91911]

Yea keep doing bloodwork and you will be able to see if you need an AI. As for HCG are you planning on having kids? Might want to get it if so, or even just for overall benefits it helps with. Folks feel better on it. The good thing is, arimidex and HCG are easy to buy on your own. So even if your doc doesnt bite, you can get it.

I say stick with 100mg if its working for you bro, and you are lifting more than you ever have in your life?!?!?!?!?!!?!?! Yea....you dont need more than...and you keep feeling better, all good signs. No need to push it in my humble opinion.

after a few days of thought i am going to go with your suggestion and stay at 100 mgs a week. it is very tempting to say fuck it and go to 200 mgs a week. but why should i push it so soon. slow and steady wins this race.

Im probably the least experienced guy on here, Im at 1.5 years of HRT, and no prior AAS use....so Im not an expert, all I know is if I could turn back the clock and be natural I would, but my HRT came out of necessity after a long struggle with severe health issues. That being said still Id rather be natural, and if need be do a cycle or two a year for fun if I was that eager to get bigger or stronger. For me the dealio is Ill probably never be as strong as I was natural, so when I read about everyone being stronger than ever, its like why push it? Your life should be addressed concerning the long haul, and if you can get away with less the better...more room in the future to move up steadily if need be...there are other boars where people take HRT very serious (not saying folks here dont), and they are very scientific in their approach and some dudes been on for like a decade....most of them stick at 100-150mg week, and get all up in arms about someone on 200mg week like me....they all do 2-3 injections a week splitting up their 100-150mg dose, plus AI and hcg, and get amazing results.

Yea HRT is for the long haul, if 100mg works keep rocking it I say.

i just finished my 4 months on trt. i have lost 20 lbs but my strength has increased nicely. i am now benching 285 for 10. i started at 245 for 10

squats i am now squatting 315 for 10 and i started squatting 275 for 10. my clothes fit allot better.

i didn't really change my diet. this next 6 months i will start to focus more on my diet and maintaining my strength gains

Dude, thats amazing progress...you need no more than what you are taking now. Especially if thats more than you have lifted before when you were younger or natural. You might even be above your normal natural previous T levels if your making gains that great. Unless you never trained or dieted as hard as you are now?

Yea stick with 100mg no need to mess with your body anymore than needed...and most people would love to make the kind of gains you are even on cycles! Those are major increases in workload my man! Congrats!

That's awesome. I just had labs run last week and am waiting results.

Losing 20lbs in that short of time and jumping up that much in workload is pretty gnarly good.....wish I could drop 20!

i made an error on my above post . it should read 6 months not 4. i started my new 6 month period today. they drew my blood and i should have some numbers next week.

6 weeks ago i wasn't feeling the same so i asked that they check my estrogen. it came back at 78 which they said was high so they gave me a script for anastrozole. it took about a week before i started to feel better.

thanks every one for the encouragement. i have trained for most of my life but i never lifted this much.

i was an accident 2 and half years ago and i was pretty much in bed in traction for a long period of time and after many surgeries i am finally healthy enough to put in the work at the gym. i did gain alot of weight but i am on my way to losing it. i am now 45 years old and it is very hard to get the weight off which is how i came to try trt therapy.it looks like it is working and i am on my way. i am very happy with the 100 mg a week i am throwing 275 around like it is 225.

Losing weight is my primary interest, but I won't turn my nose up at any of the other benefits.

so i got the results from my last blood test. my estrogen went from 76 which is high back down to 26. my total test was at 506 down from a high of 806.

my last blood test was 6 weeks ago and this is when we caught the high estrogen level. i knew something was wrong because i started to feel tired and lackadaisical and i asked for them to check the estrogen. now it took to weeks of treatment before i started to feel good again.
